Tour De Valley

2010-08-26T10:20:00.001-07:00

Mocean Mate is stoked to sponsor another great event...the Tour De Valley!

"The Tour is an annual event in Cambridge, VT called the Tour De Valley. The Tour is organized by the Brewster River Mountain BIke Club (BRMBC), a VMBA chapter. The event is in its 5th year and the event raises money for VMBA and our club trails. We are also raising money to build a wheelchair accessible trail in honor of one of our landowner sons who is looking to get out on some of our trails ! We are calling the project "Jay's Trail" and it will be based out of the Valley Dream Farm!"

Check out their Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brewster-River-Mountain-Bike-Club/142799325020

New Dealers

2010-08-23T10:42:00.000-07:00

The list is growing as we add new retail accounts throughout New England. Last week Parker General Store in West Glover Vt came aboard, then we just got Sunflower Natural Foods in Waterbury Vt., The Bee's Knee's in Morrisville and Buffalo Mountain Co-Op in Hardwick to step up with orders. Thank you to all of you for helping out.

We will begin distribution in Burlington soon and Montpelier as we have heavy interest in both regions. We are being fairly selective in choosing alliances that will best represent our product so be patient out there. We have many requests to get the product in stores from Boston to Canada and will do our best to get it out there as we continue to grow.

Thanks to everyone for spreading the word and letting us "Energize Your Adventures"!

RhinoFest 2010 was incredible!

2010-08-16T09:05:00.000-07:00

We just got back from RhinoFest and we had an awesome time and sold out, a great combo! Ryan and his crew did an amazing job with the event and it was very ideal as both music fans and vendors. Great to see a well oiled and organized show that caters to all and we are proud to have been a sponsor.
The response to our drink and mission at the show was amazing as well. Everyone from top artists to kids loved it and came back for more and hung at our booth. We thank you all. We made some great connections that will hopefully develop into new alliances from music artists to specialty food producers doing it right.
We will gladly sponsor any event with a similar vibe and mission and you could too. Contact the crew at RhinoFest to see how.

And stay tuned for the event video to be produced by Mocean365. Mahalos to everyone at the event!

Mocean Mate Adventures #3- VT

2010-06-28T21:04:00.000-07:00

FUNNY MATE ADVENTURES

2010-06-28T21:02:00.000-07:00

Part of the secret to Mocean Mate...

2010-06-08T07:14:00.000-07:00

Mocean Mate consists of a base of the all powerful and nutrient rich Yerba Mate. During the scheming phase of the creation of this incredible potion, we came up with a rockin' herbal blend to add to that power. We chose these herbs for their known abilities to increase stamina and endurance as well as to promote overall optimal health and vitality. All of which are key to YOU in your journey as an adventurer and revolutionary! We want to give people the energy to live life to the fullest for a better community!!

Our Rockin' Herbal Blend

Siberian Ginseng (Eleuthero) - a nourishing stimulant, adaptogen and a traditional aphrodisiac

The more familiar name for this botanical remedy is Siberian Ginseng, and its benefits for stress and energy are renowned. Results from extensive research by Russian scientists show it to be a powerful "adaptogenic" herb used to help the body's reaction to stress (physical, mental and emotional). This category of herbs assists in the body's "nonspecific resistance" to stress, fatigue, and disease. It is used in Russia and other former Soviet republics by athletes, industrial workers, and laypersons alike. The Chinese have long believed that regular use of Eleuthero Ginseng increases longevity and improves general health, appetite, and memory. It is now commonly used in the United States and Europe by athletes and those with active lifestyles as an herbal supplement to enhance energy.

Rhodiola -

Builds stamina, endurance, and well-being under conditions of exertion and sleep disruption
Uplifts mood and modulates physiologic stress reactions

Rhodiola has been used to support healthy energy levels for centuries in Russia, Scandinavia, and Iceland. Research demonstrates rhodiola reduces cortisol levels and boosts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. For those struggling with energy drain, rhodiola may support mental concentration and alertness and support healthy endurance levels.

"Rhodiola rosea is an exalted herbal stress “adaptogen.” Thriving in high altitudes and in nature’s most challenging climates, this most resilient herbal is intensively studied for enhancing concentration and endurance, uplifting one’s mental state, and supporting optimal immune, adrenal, and cardiovascular function even under conditions of severe stress. Widely used by Russian athletes and cosmonauts to increase energy, Rhodiola delivers the promise of an inner oasis of peace and energy in our hurly-burly world". (newchapter.com)

Gota Kola -

It contains no caffeine,yet it is used extensively to increase energy and vitality. The reason for this might be because it is said to assist with stabilizing the blood sugar level, which in turn would prevent hypoglycemia, mental fatigue, depression and confusion - or it could be because of the high concentration of thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6) which assist to convert carbohydrates into glucose for FUEL for the brain and body as well as for normal nervous system functioning.
It has been widely used for a number of conditions, particularly in traditional Eastern health care. In Ayurveda, it is one of the chief herbs for revitalizing the nerves and brain cells. It is said to fortify the immune system, both cleansing and feeding it, and to strengthen the adrenals.

Not to be confused with Kola Nut!!
